Rudy, Rudy, Rudy...

I got up Saturday morning and started flipping through the channels.  Ended up on "Rudy," on HBO.  Sean Astin seems to be everywhere these days, but that may be because I'm overly influenced by 24 right now.  Anyway, my roommate comes down a while later.  He's never seen "Rudy."

It's great when a movie can make a 54 year old frat boy cry....

Ah loves me some Sean Astin.  He's gotta know he's been in both the most homoerotic sports movie ever and the most homoerotic fantasy trilogy ever.  And speaking of, Mark Morford's take on the BBM "snub":

I also landed on 50 First Dates for a while last Saturday (talk about your lost weekends!).  There was Sean Astin again, hilarious as Drew Barrymore's roided up brother.

I loved Rudy, but I wouldn't so much call it homoerotic.  That signifier must, of course, go to School Ties, in which a then unknown Brendan Fraser played a Jewish student-athlete at a Catholic prep school with a then unknown Matt Damon and a then unknown Chris O'Donnell as two of his teammates/classmates.

There is a lengthy scene with Brendan, Matt, and Chris in the shower together.  Brendan and Matt fight.  I need say no more.`

Understand that I say this knowing that the real-life Rudy is married with children, but the whole subtext of the movie is: this little guy who wants -- yearns -- to be surrounded by big guys. It's, like, his dream. Hello?

And don't forget that Ben Affleck's character is named Chesty Smith.

Question about a TV movie. A few months back I saw a TV movie called Knights of the South Bronx. I want a copy of it. As far as I can tell it is only a TV movie. Any suggestions about how I can tell when/where it might play so I can tape it? Are TV movies available anywhere on disc?

Per IMDB, it's not available commercially, and there's nothing on tvshowsondvd.com (really--I'm not making that up). I'd check the website of whatever network it was on to see if it's coming up for airing again. Or drop Tim whatsisface from the Chron a note.

Or post something on craigslist to see if you can find someone who did tape it to copy it for you.

i'm going to the 2pm sunday matinee of this. anyone care to join?

March 11–12, 2006
ED WOOD FILM FESTIVAL
Featuring Plan 9 From Outer Space NEWLY RESTORED—AND NOW IN COLOR!
Starring Bela Lugosi, Vampira, Tor Johnson and Dudley Manlove.
Sa: 7p WORLD COLOR PREMIERE Su: 2p, 4p, 6p, 8p

Come to the Castro for the biggest movie event of the year—the World Color Premiere of director Ed Wood’s utterly preposterous 1959 masterpiece of poorly executed film-making—PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. The most extensive restoration to date and in color for the first time, Ed Wood’s unintentionally hilarious cult classic of aliens who attempt to conquer Earth by reanimating the dead has been hailed as the “worst movie ever made.” With string-powered flying saucers, laughable dialogue, shrewd alien logic and “priceless” special effects, the aliens’ invasion plan can’t go wrong. (Hint: It does.)

In addition to PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, the film festival also includes never-before-seen Ed Wood home movies (see Ed model his famous angora sweater and fishnet stockings!), rare Ed Wood commercials and Plans 1-8, narrated by Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Mike Nelson, and much more.
